TRANSLATOR’S  PREFACE. 


The  original  of  this  translation  was  found 
at  Cairo,  where  it  had  escaped  the  researches 
of  the  French  Savans,  who,  though  successful 
in  collecting  many  valuable  Oriental  books 
and  manuscripts,  failed  in  their  endeavours 
to  procure  a satisfactory  explanation  of  the 
Hieroglyphics.  Literary,  as  well  as  military, 
acquisitions  excite  great  interest.  After  the 
harvest  of  the  members  of  the  French 
Institut,  the  less  expectation  there  was  of 
gleaning  with  success  in  the  field  of  Egyptian 
literature,  the  greater  satisfaction  a discovery

Jikc  this  must  give,  and  the  more  the  acqui- 
sition of  such  a manuscript,  equally  new 
and  interesting,  deserves  to  be  appreciated. 

The  account  of  its  contents  and  author  is 
as  follows: — The  author  lived  a thousand 
years  ago,  in  the  time  of  the  axYit'  Abdul  Malik 
Bin  Marwdn.  His  surnames  would  be  suf- 
ficient to  prove  that  he  was  a Caldean,  A«- 
hatJiean,  or  perhaps  a Syrian  by  birth,  if  he 
did  not  tell  us  himself  that  he  translated  a 
work  treating  on  the  hieroglyphics  and  secrets 
of  Hermes,  from  his  mother-tongue,  the  Na-  . 
hathean,  into  Arabic. 

AH  Ahdur-rashid  Alha-Jwi/i  informs  us  in  his 
Geography  of  Egypt  (extracts  of  which  are 
given'  by  citizen  Marul  in  the  Egyptian 
decade)  that  in  the  year  two  hundred  and 
five  and  twenty  of  the  Hegira,  a book  was 
found  in  Egypt  containing  a notice  of  the 
construction  of  the  pyramids  and  other  Egyp- 
tian antiquities,  written  in  unknown  characters, 
and  translated  at  last  by  a monk  of  the  con- 
vent of  Calmoon.  This  discovery  proves  to

iil 


be  coeval  with  the  time  our  author  wrote  his 
book,  which  was  finished  in  the  year  two 
hundred  and  forty  one. 

It  is  very  likely  that  he  had  the  means  of 
perusing  this  translation  of  the  Monk. 

He  deposited  the  original  of  the  book  be- 
fore us  (as  we  are  acquainted  by  himself)  in 
the  library  of  the  calif  above-mentioned. 
This  jirince  (one  of  the  most  enlightened  of 
his  d3masty)  rivalled  his  great  jiredecessors 
Tlarun  Arrashkl  and  M6m{m  in  the  encou- 
ragement given  to  the  progress  of  the  sciences, 
and  to  the  translation  of  mathematical  and 
philosophical  works  from  the  Greek  and 
Syriac  into  Arabic. 

Clialahizaacle  Uatlshi  Khalfo,  the  great 
Oriental  enc^xlopaedist  and  bibliographer, 
gives  us  in  his  Bibliographical  Dictionaiy  an 
account  of  the  works  of  our  author,  and 
mentions  him  as  one  of  the  most  celebrated 
translators  that  ever  enlarged  the  empire  of 
Arabic  literature  bj^  precious  translations  from 
foreign  languages.

riavino;  thus  made  the  reader  accjuainted 
with  the  merits  of  the  author,  it  becomes  ne- 
cessary to  say  every  thing  that  niay  be  con- 
sidered essential  on  the  merits  of  the  work  it- 
self; independent  of  the  praises  which  have 
been  bestowed  on  it  by  different  Arabic  au- 
thors, who  never  mention  it  without  ex- 
pressing the  utmost  regard  for  it.  ' 

Thouo-h  accordino;  to  the  Arabic  title  it  is 
supposed  to  contain  only  the  explanation  of 
unknown  alphabets,  it  gives  beside  a key  to 
the  hieroglyphics,  and  in  the  same  chapter  a 
curious  account  of  the  different  classes  of  the 
Egyptian  priests,  their  initiation  and  sacrifices ; 
so  that  we  may  consider  its  contents  under 
these  three  heads. 

Although  it  is  difficult  to  say  how  many  of 
the  eighty  alphabets  herein  deciphered  may 
have  been  really  used  by  nations,  or  how 
many  letters  in  every  one  alphabet  may  have 
been  disfigured  and  misrepresented  either  by 
the  want  of  sufficient  information  in  our 
author  himself,  or  by  the  ignorance  and

blunders  of  the  copyists;  yet  it  is  not  pre- 
sumption to  assert,  that  real  truth  lies  at 
the  bottom  of  most  of  them,  and  that  those 
which  were  not  alphabets  for  common  wTiting, 
were  used  as  ciphers  amongst  different 
Oriental  nations.  The  proof  of  which  is  evi- 
dent from  the  circumstance,  that  some  among 
these  alphabets  are  used  even  at  this  day 
amongst  Turks,  Arabs,  and  Persians,  as  a kind 
of  secret  cipher  for  writing,  without  being 
understood  by  the  generality.  The  commonest 
of  them  is  the  alphabet  called  by  the  author 
the  tree  alphabet. 

The  first  three  alphabets  of  the  first  chapter, 
viz.  the  Ciijlc,  Maghrahin,  and  Numeral^  or  In- 
dian alphabet,  are  universally  known. 

Cujic  inscriptions  are  found  through  the 
whole  extent  of  the  ancient  empire  of  the 
Arabs,  in  Arabia,  Persia,  Syria,  Egypt,  Sicily, 
and  Spam. 

. The  Maghrabin  or  Andalusian  alphabet  is 
the  common  character  used  at  this  moment 
in  Morocco,  and  throughout  the  northernmost 
part  of  Africa. 


VI 


translator’s  preface. 


The  numeral  or  Indian  character  is  known 
to  every  true  Arab  or  Persian,  and  to  many 
Europeans ; it  is  also  known  that  in  many  of 
the  Oriental  languages,  as  well  as  in  the 
Greek,  al[)habetical  letters  are  used  for  num- 
bers. The  numerical  signs,  (called  by  us 
Arabic,  and  by  the  Arabs  more  properly  In- 
dian  numbers)  used  vice  versa  for  letters,  form 
an  alphabet,  which  is  generally  known,  and 
particularly  used  in  the  daftarddrn,  or  treasury 
office,  for  accounts. 

The  seven  alphabets  contained  in  the  se- 
cond chapter  merit  the  utmost  attention  from 
every  Orientalist.  The  Hebrew,  Syrian  and 
Grech  are  already  known  to  us;  the  Nabathean 
and  Masnad  or  Hirnydric  we  have  heard  of 
in  history;  but  the  Lacam  and  Cerrebian 
alphabets  are  unknown  even  by  name. 

The  difference  of  the  Hebrew,  Sju’ian,  and 
Greek  letters  from  the  usual  alphabets  of 
these  languages  may  be,  perhaps,  mere  mis- 
takes of  the  copyist,  but  in  spite  of  this 
conjecture,  they  deserve  the  elosest  examina- 
tion, for  the  author,  by  birth  a Caldean  or

Nabathean,  must  have  been  well  acquainted 
with  the  original  form  of  these  alpliabets. 

The  llinujaric  or  Masnad  alphabet  is  very 
often  mentioned  in  Oriental  and  iairopean 
books,  but  this  is  the  first  specimen  which 
has  appeared  of  it."^ 

Whether  the  Barrahi  alphabet  is  the  al- 
phabet of  the  people  called  Barrahars,  or 
whether  the  Lacami  alphabet  is  originally  an 
Abyssinian  one,  are  questions  difficult  to 
decide. 

The  alphabets  of  the  third,  fourth,  fifth, 
sLrth,  and  seventh  chapters,  bearing  the  names 
of  planets,  constellations,  philosophers,  and 
kings  may  be  considered  as  so  many  Oriental 
ciphers,  which,  at  the  time  they  were  col- 
lected in  this  book,  were,  perhaps,  named

after  some  celebrated  men,  to  whom  their 
invention  was  ascribed.  The  names  them- 
selves (as  is  commonly  the  case  in  all  transla- 
tions from  a foreign  language  into  Arabic) 
are  so  strangely  altered  and  disfigured,  that 
it  was  possible,  but  in  very  few  cases,  to 
guess  the  real  meanino*  of  them,  and  to  Ira  ns- 
late  them  with  the  true  original  name. 

The  Mimslim,  antidikivian,  or  primeval  al- 
phabet deciphered  in  the  last  chapter,  is 
highly  interesting  ; for  it  shows  the  transition 
of  the  hieroglyphics  from  being  signs  ex- 
pressive of  Avords  to  the  signification  of 
simple  letters ; and  the  existence  of  such  a 
liieroglyphical  alphabet  is  sufficiently  proved 
by  the  observations  made  on  old  Egyptian 
monuments;  it  shows,  at  the  same  time,  the 
different  modifications  of  the  old  Syrian  and 
Cal  dean  alphabets. 

It  is  left  to  the  reader  to  make  the  com- 
parison between  these  characters  and  the 
known  Oriental  alphabets.

in  Arabic  ITermesian  alphabets,' from  Hermes, 
■who,  according  to  Oricnlal  history,  was  the 
first  king  of  the  ancient  Egyptians.  It  is 
impossible  to  clear  up  entirely  the  darkness 
in  which  the  history  of  this  triple  Hermes  is 
involved.  He  is,  however,  evidenlly  the 
Hermes  Trismegistus  of  the  Greeks,  and  pos- 
.sibly  the  same  with  the  triple  Rama  of  the 
Indians.  . 

The  old  kings  of  Egypt  are  comprehended 
by  us  under  the  general  name  of  Pharaohs. 
The  Oriental  historians  divide  them  into  three 
dynasties,  viz.  1.  the  Hermesian ; 2.  the  Pha- 
raohs; and  3.  the  Coptic  or  propei’ly  Egyptian 
kings.  To  the  first,  and  particularly  to  Hermes 
the  threefold  himself,  they  ascribe  the  tombs, 
catacombs,  temples,  palaces,  pyramids,  obe- 
lisks, sphinxes,  and  all  the  royal,  funeral,  re- 
ligious, and  astronomical  monuments,  which 
astonish  the  traveller  in  Upper  Egypt.  But 
incapable  of  distinguishing  them,  or  of 
finding  out  their  true  appro|>riation,  they 
believe 'all  of  them  to  have  been  constructed

for  the  purpose  of  hiding  treasures,  of  raising 
spirits,  of  telling  fortunes  and  future  events, 
of  performing  chemical  operations,  of  at- 
tracting affection,  of  repelling  evils,  or  of 
indicating  approaching  enemies;  and  they 
call  them,  according  to  these  supposed  pur- 
poses, treasure  chambers,  conjuring  buildings, 
astrological  tables,  alchemical  monuments, 
magical  spells,  talismans,  and  magic  alarm- 
posts. 

The  secrets  of  the  contents  of  these  monu- 
ments, or  of  the  arts  by  means  of  which  they 
are  erected,  were  expressed,  as  they  believe, 
by  the  hieroglyphics  upon  them,  which  being 
invented  by  Henries,  and  kept  secret  by  his 
descendants,  were  called  the  Hermesian  al- 
phabet.* 

This  specimen  of  Oriental  writers  being 
to  us,  it  IS  difficult  eithei  to  confiini

or  to  contradict  the  explanation  of  our 
author. 

The  most  reasonable  objections  which  can 
be  made  against  the  explanation  of  many  of 
the  hieroglyphics  is  counterbalanced  by  the 
evident  truth,  that  a great  many  of  them  are 
known  to  have  been  invariably  used  in 
astronomy  and  chemistry  for  expressing  the 
same  objects ; if  the  meaning  of  some  of  them 
does  not  prove  satisfactory,  there  are  others,

can  be  made.  Such  are  ihe  liieroglyp^hics  men- 
tioned to  have  been  represented  on  the  tombs 
for  conve3nng  to  posterity  the  character,  mode 
of  life,  and  death  of  the  person  buried  therein. 
The  seven  figures  (see  hieroglyphics,  original 
p.  124,)  said  to  have  been  engraved  on  the 
tombs  of  men  killed  by  violent  death,  show 
evidently  the  different  modes  of  it:  light- 
ning, decollation,  bite  of  a serpent,  death  by 
a hatchet,  by  poison,  by  a poniard,  or  by 
strangulation.  The  same  concordance  be- 
tween  the  hieroglyphical  sign,  and  the  object 
meant,  will  be  discovered  b}"  a close  inspec- 
tion of  the  four  tables  of  hieroglyphics. 

It  will  be  sufficient  to  mention  here  a single 
instance  of  original  merit,  and  a true  disco- 
very made  by  this  manuscript,  viz.  the  name 
of  one  of  the  most  interesting  hieroglyphics, 
which,  after  the  explanation  given  by  the  au- 
thor, is  evidently  what  Kircher  calls  ani'ma 
mundi,  but  the  ancient  name  of  which  never 
has  yet  been  explained.  It  is  written  Bahumid, 
and  translated  into  ilrabic  by  the  word  calf. 


translator's  preface. 


xill 


It  is  superfluous  lo  recall  here  to  the  me- 
mory of  the  reader  the  great  antiquity  and 
mysterious  sense  of  the  idolatrous  veneration 


in  which  this  calf  has  been  continually  held. 
It  is  superfluous  to  repeat  any  thing  that  has 
been  said  on  the  worship  of  Apis  in  Eirypt, 
renewed  by  the  Israelites  in  the  worship  of 
the  calf,  and  preserved  at  this  moment  in 
the  mysterious  rites  of  the  Druses.  Let  us 
remember  only  a circumstance  which  shows 
wonderfully  the  concordance  and  relation  of 
the  name  of  Bahumid  and  its  translation. 

Bahumed  or  Bahumet  is  related  in  the 
History  of  the  Templars  to  have  been  one  of 
their  secret  and  mysterious  formulas,  with 
which  they  addressed  the  idol  of  a calf  in 
their  secret  assemblies.  Different  etymo- 
logical explanations  and  descriptions  of  this 


word  have  been  brought  forward,  but  none 
surely  so  satisfactory  as  this,  which  proves 
that  the  lemplars  had  some  acquaintance 
with  the  hieroglypliics,  probably  acquired  in 


XIV 


translator’s  preface. 


If,  therefore,  the  explanation  of  the  hiero- 
glyphics given  in  this  book  deserves  attention, 
the  account  of  the  four  classes  of  Egyptian 
priests,  their  initiation,  and  sacrifices,  is  no 
less  interestino;. 

In  what  a curious  and  new  light  do  the 
catacombs  of  Sacara,  containing  the  mummies 
of  birds,  appear  by  the  account  of  those 
animals  being  embalmed  at  the  initiation  of 
the  priests,  wrapped  up  in  a greater  or  lesser 
quantity  of  linen,  and  deposited  in  pits? 

How  evident  does  it  become  that  the 
Judaic  law  of  the  first-born  being  offered  to 
the  Lord  on  the  temple’s  threshold,  is  of  Egyp- 
tian origin? 

How  interesting  would  it  be  to  ascertain 
whether  any  of  the  thirty-two  inscriptions 
seen  by  the  author  near  Bagdad  are  actually 
to  be  found,  or  whether  the  shape  of  the 
letters  of  some  pieces  of  poetry  found  by 
modern  travellers  in  the  neighbourhood  of 
the  ruins  of  Babylon,  bear  any  resemblance 
to  the  Chaldean,  Nabathean,  Sabean,  or  Cnrdic

alphabets  ? Certain  it  is  that,  though  reason 
and  fancy,  truth  and  fable,  may  have  con- 
tributed an  equal  share  to  the  composition 
of  this  book,  it  must  be  considered  notwith- 
standing as  one  of  the  most  curious,  the  most 
interesting,  and  the  most  valuable  manu- 
scripts that  have  been  found  among  the  trea- 
sures of  the  East ; and  the  translation,  it  is 
hoped,  will  be  thought  an  acceptable  gift  to 
the  curious  and  learned. 

Having  lately  found  in  the  bibliographical 
work  of  Hadji  Calfa,  and  in  another  Encyclo- 
pedia, some  notices  about  the  author  of  this 
Treatise,  and  some  other  of  his  works,  I have 
judged  that  a transcript  of  them,  with  a 
translation,  would  not  be  uninteresting  in  this 
place.

manuscript  was  not,  as  T supposed,  unknown, 
yet  they  enhance  the  value  of  it  by  the  worth 
attached  to  it  by  a man  like  Kircher.  The 
same  work  is  now  I believe  at  Pans,  where 
there  has  lately  been  a great  talk  of  the  ma- 
nuscript alphabets  at  the  imperial  library 
tiansported  from  Ilo?ne;  which  renders  the 
publishing  of  it  in  England  the  more  interest- 
ing. Kircher  found  his  copy  at  Malta  amongst 
the  Turks,  and  I this  at  Cairo  amongst  the 
Arabs. 

The  author  mentions  his  having  deposited 
this  work  in  the  treasury  of  Abdohnelic  in  the 
year  214..  Now  the  Calif  just  named  reigned 
in  the  middle  of  the  first  century  of  the  Hejira, 
and  unless  there  was  a public  establishment 
of  treasury  or  library  founded  by  that  Calif,* 
and  still  bearing  his  name,  wherein  Ibn 
IVahshih  may  have  deposited  it  in  the  year 
214,  long  after  the  death  of  the  Calif,  it  is  im- 
possible to  reconcile  those  dates,  particularly 
as  all  my  endeavours  to  find  anywhere  else 
the  time  wherein  Ibn  IVahshih  lived,  have 
proved  fruitless.

AUTHOR’S  PREFACE. 


Praise  to  God,  and  health  to  his  servants,  who 
have  pure  hearts.  Amen ! My  object  is  to  col- 
lect the  rudiments  of  alphabets  used  by  antient 
nations,  doctors  and  learned  philosophers  in  their 
books  of  science,  for  the  use  of  the  curious  and 
studious,  who  apply  themselves  to  philosophical 
and  mystic  sciences. 

Each  alphabet  is  represented  in  its  old  shape 
and  form,  the  original  name  of  it  recorded,  and 
the  power  of  the  characters  written  underneath 
with  red  ink’*'  in  Arabic  letters,  to  the  end  that 
they  may  be  better  distinguished. 

I have  arranged  the  work  in  chapters,  and 
entitled  it.  The  long  desired  Knowledge  oj  occult 
Alphabets  attained.  With  the  aid  of  God  i 


* This  distinction,  for  obvious  reasons,  has  not  been  imitated 
in  the  printed  copy.

scendants, invented  this  alphabet.  It  is  even  now 
used  in  calculation.

[ 9 1 

orig.  p.  42.)  It  was  invented  by  seven  Roman 
philosophers,  who  wrote  a great  number  of  books 
on  cliymistry,  magic,  and  medicine.  Their  prin- 
cipal was  Diojdnes,  the  great  Roman  king.  Th  is

books  deposited  in  Jerusalem. 

Section  XXII.  The  alphabet  of  Marshol  the

Egypt,  as  we  find  them  in  the  Wrilmrs  o7  the 
Ancients.  " ' 

Everyone  of  these  kings  invented,  accordin<r 


lie  was  perhaps  the  founder  of  an  old  Egyptian  town,  near 
HcUm>h,  thy  ;uins  of  which  have  been  found  by  the  French.  See 
the  first  Volume  of  the  Decade  Fgyptienne. 


[ 15  ] 


to  Ills  own  genius  and  understanding,  a particular 
alphabet,  in  order  tliat  none  should  know  them 
but  the  sons  of  wisdom.  Few,  therefore,  are 
found  who  understand  them  in  our  time.  They' 
took  the  figures  of  different  instruments,  trees, 
plants,  quadrupeds,  birds,  or  their  parts,  and  of 
planets,  and  fixed  stars.  In  this  manner  these 
hieroglyphical  alphabets  became  innumerable, 
like  the  alphabets  of  the  Indians  and  Chinese. 
They  were  not  arranged  at  all  in  the  order  of  our 
letters  a,  h,  c,  d,  but  they  liad  proper  chaiacters 
agreed  upon  by  the  inventors  of  these  alphabets, 
and  which  differed  in  their  figure  and  order,  viz. 
they  expressed  water  by  A/Ws  They  understood 
the  secrets  of  nature,  and  endeavoured  to  express 
every  thing  by  an  appropriate  sign,  so  that  they 
might  express  it  by  its  appearance. 

Others  followed  the  simple  rules  of  geometry, 
deriving  one  alphabet  from  another,  as  the  Coofic 
has  been  derived  from  the  Sjrian,  the  Hebrew 
from  the  Chaldean^  the  Latin  from  the  Greek,  and 
others,  in  this  manner,  from  some  original.  Who- 
soever wishes  to  become  acquainted  with  all  the 
nice  points  of  the  knowledge  of  alphabets,  may 
inquire  for  the  book  entitled  Solution  of  Secrets 
and  Key  of  Treasures  by  jfaber  Hayan  Essoofi,  who, 


[ 16  ] 


enters  into  all  the  necessary  explanations  and  de- 
tails of  this  art.  Our  object  is  only  to  mention 
the  most  celebrated  of  these  alphabets  of  the 
llermesians,  (or  hieroglyphics,)  and  to  indicate 
their  particular  qualities;  for  nobody  is  capable

Section  I.  Alphabet  of  the  philosopher 
Hermes  the  cireat. 

O 

This  alphabet  is  used  on  the  Obelisks^  the  Pj^ra- 
77iids,  the  iusodption  tables  and  stones ; the  temples^ 
and  other  old  buildings,  from  the  time  of  the  first 
Pharaohs.  It  does  not  consist  in  a series  of  letters 
like  other  alphabets,  but  in  expressions  composed 
according  to  the  arrangement  made  by  Hermes 
the  great.  These  expressions  consist  in  innumera- 
ble figures  and  signs,  which  are  to  lead  the  mind 
directly,  and  immediately  to  the  object  expressed 
thereby,  viz:  there  is  a sign  which  signifies  the 
name  of  God  Almighty,  simply  and  alone.  If 
they  wished  to  express  one  of  the  particular  attri- 
butes of  God  they  added  something  to  the  original 
sign,  and  preceded  in  this  manner,  as  you  will 
perceive  by  the  alphabet  in  question. 

It  is  divided  into  three  series,  beside  the  celes- 
tial or  supernatural  objects.  Let  us  begin  with  the

celestial  objects,  and  the  figures  by  which  they 
were  expressed  in  the  Hermesian  languao-e  repre- 
sented as  we  have  found  them.

three  other  classes,  according  to  promise,  with  all 
the  different  figures  of  the  Mermesian  alphabets,

i 23  ] 

■jJecret,  called  ofigJhally  Bahumed  and  KharuJ  (or 
calf),  viz.  The  Secret  of  the  nature  of  the  world,  or 
The  Secret  of  Secrets,  or  The  Beginning  and  Return 
of  every  thing. 

To  speak  at  length  of  this  figure,  is  more  than 
the  limits  of  this  book  allow.  W e refer  the  curious, 
who  wish  for  more  explanation,  to  a book,  which 
we  have  translated  from  our  JVahalhean  language 
into  Arabic,  and  entitled  : Sun  of  Suns  and  Moon  of 
Moons,  illuminating  the  discovery  of  the  Hermesian 
alphabets,  of  hieroglyphics,  where  he  will  be  com- 
pletely satisfied'. 

The’  Hermesians  let  nobody  into  the  secrets  of 
their  knowledge  but  their  disciples,  lest  the  arts 
and  sciences  should  be  debased  by  being  common 
a'mbngst  the  vulgar.  They  hid  therelore  their 
secrets  arid  treasure's  from  them  by  the  means  of 
this  alphabet,  and  by  inscriptions,  which  could  be 
read  by  nobody  except  the  sons  of  wisdom  and 
learning. 

These  initiated  scholars  were  divided  into  four 
classes. ‘ Tile  first  Class  comprehended  the  sect  of 
the  HardmisahAlhawmiy  ah, whowere  all  descendants 
of  Hermes  the  Great.  They  married  daughters  of 
their  own  race  only,  and  never  were  allowed  to 
have  any  .kind  of  intercouse  with  sfr'angefsi  No 


[ 54  ] 


man  in  the  world  was  acquainted  with  any  of  their 
secrets;  they  alone  possessed  them.  They  were 
the  authors  of  the  hooks  commonly  called  the 
books  of  (Enoch).  They  constructed  temples 
dedicated  to  spirits,  and  buildings  of  magical  wis- 
dorn.  The  few  of  those,  who  in  our  time  are  ac- 
quuinted  witli  this  knowledge,  live  retired  in  some 
islands  near  the  frontiers  of  China,  and  continue 
to  tread  the  steps  of  their  forefathers.* 

The  second  class  ol  the  Hermesians,  called 
rdmisah  Alpimhmli'izr^ah,  the  sons  of  the  brother  of 
Hermes,  whose  name  was  Asclibianos.  They  mar- 
ried within  their  own  families  only,  and  far  from 
giving  their  countrymen  any  kind  of  trouble,  they 
became  necessary  to  them  in  all  their  business. 
The  difference  between  them  and  the  former  con- 
sisted in  the  use  of  perfumes  allowed  to  them,  and 
m the  lihei  ty  they  enjoyed  to  see  their  relations 
at  the  entrance  of  the  sun  into  the  several  signs  of 
the  zodiac,  and  at  the  commencement  of  each  sea- 
son. On  the  latter  occasion  they  had  a feast  of 
seven  days.  1 \\o, Alhawmiyah,  on  the  contrary,  were 

* Perliaps  the  Brahmans  may  be  here  alluded  to  as  the  followers 
of  the  Ilermesiiin  philosophy.  On  the  intercourse  between  India, 

China,  see  Sir  William  Jones’s  Annual  Discourses  in 
the  Asiatic  Uesearches. 


[ 25  ] 


continually  occupied  with  reading  the  holy  books, 
with  acts  of  devotion,  and  witli  fasting.  They  had 
only  one  feast  in  the  year,  lasting  eight  and  twenty 
days  (a  month),  beginning  at  the  entrance  of  the  sun 
into  the  sign  Aries.  At  this  time  they  approached 
their  relations,  and  enjoyed  perfumes  and  other 
pleasures  of  life.  They  confessed  the  unity  of  God 
the  Creator  of  all  things.  Blessed  be  his  Name! 

They  never  communicated  their  secrets,  and 
Hermetic  treasures  to  any  body,  but  they  pre- 
served them  from  generation  to  generation,  till 
our  days. 

When  a child  was  born  to  tliem,  the  mother 
took  it  to  the  priest  of  the  temple,  where  trial  of 
the  children  used  to  be  made.  She  laid  it  down 
on  the  threshold  of  the  temple  without  speaking 
a word.  The  priest  then  came  with  a golden  cup 
full  of  water  in  his  hands,  accompanied  by  six 
other  priests.  He  said  prayers,  and  sprinkled 
water  over  the  child.  If  it  moved,  and  turned  its 
face  towards  the  threshold,  the  priest  took  it  by 
the  hand,  and  conducted  it  into  the  interior  of  the 
temple,  where  there  was  a coffin  prepared  on  pur- 
pose. There  they  said  prayers  and  performed 
ceremonies  for  an  hour.  Then  the  priest  covered 
the  face  of  the  child  with  a silk  handkerchief;  a 

H 


[ 26  ] 

o;reen  one  for  «:irls,  and  a red  one  for  boys ; put 
it  in  the  coffin,  shut  it  up,/ and  took  in  his  hand  a 
stick  with  three  heads  made  of  silver,  and  set  with, 
jewels  and  precious  stones. 

The  father,  mother,  and  relations  of  the  child 
entered  at  this  moment,  and  performed-  prayers 
and  hymns  in  humble  devotion.  1 he  priest  then 
struck  the  coffin  with  his  stafif  thrice,  and  cried 
out:  “ In  the  name  of  the'  Lord  thy  God  who 
“ created  and  made  thee,  exist  by  his  wisdom, 
“ speak  out  the  inmost  secrets  of  the  events  of  thy 
lifel  Amen,  Amen,  for  ever  and  ever!”  The 
whole  assembly  performed  seven  adorations,  and 
then  stood  up.  The  child  said,  “ Health  and 
“ heaven’s  blessing  to  thee!”  The  priest  returned 
his  greetings,  and  said  “ What  is  thy  name.?  In 
what  consists  thy  sacrifice,  and<  what  means  of 
“ subsistence  dost  thou  desire?  At  what  hour  hast 
“ thou  been  adorned  with  this  noble  body,  and  these 
“ gracious  features,  (i.  e.  when  wert  thou  born?) 
“ Art  thou  to  remain  here  as  thy  brethren,  or  art 
“ thou  merely  a travelling  guest  ? I.  ask  thee  in 
“ the  name  of  God,  the  all-vivifying,  the  un- 
“ changeable,  the  eternal  One,  without'  end  or 
“ beginning,  in  whose  power  are  all  things  visible 
“ and  invisible,  the  Lord  ol  heaven  and  earth,  the 


[ 27  ] 


“ most  High  and  supreme  Being;  and  I conjure 
“ thee  to  answer  and  promise,  that  as  long  as  thou 
“ shalt  exist  in  this  world,  thou  wilt  never  reveal 
“ our  secrets  to  any  stranger.” 

The  child  promised  it  in  the  name  of  truth, 
which  is  written  on  the  table  existing;  from  the 
beginning  of  things,  in  the  table  of  Fate  preserved 
in  heaven.  The  child  was  then  told,  that  he  was 
received  amongst  the  number  of  the  wise  and 
learned,  the  sons  of  science  ; or  amongst  the  mas- 
ters of  mechanical  arts  and  works.  They  con- 
versed with  him  on  every  subject.  They  put  him 
different  questions,  and  heard  his  answers.  A 
priest  standing  by  noted  the  answers  on  a table  of 
stone,  and  hung  it  up  in  the  temple. 

After  this,  they  called  the  child,  opened  the 
coffin,  purified  it  with  fumigations,  and  performed 
a sacrifice  consisting  of  a quadruped,  or  a bird. 
They  burnt  the  blood  shed,  purified  the  body,  and 
wrapt  it  up'in  a piece  of  fine  white  linen  an  hun- 
dred and  twenty  fold  for  a male,  and  sixty  for  a 
female.  They  put  it  into  a pot  of  earth,  and  depo- 
sited it  in  the  pit  of  sacrifices.  All  this  was  per- 
formed according  to  secret  rites  known  to  nobody 
but  themselves.  ’ 

The  coffin  mentioned  was  made  in  the  shape  of 


[ 28  ] 

a little  chest,  of  the  lensLth  of  the  child,  made  of 
olive  wood,  and  adorned  with  gold  and  precious 
stones.  If  the  child  happened  afterwards  to  men- 
tion this  mysterious  reception,  they  rejected  it, 
saying,  “ This  child  cannot  be  trusted  with  our 
“ secrets  and  mysteries,  for  it  may  betray  them.” 
They  afterwards  brought  forward  some  fault  on 
•which  they  grounded  their  exclusion.  If  the  ini- 
tiated person  had  already  grown  up,  and  wished 
to  withdraw  from  their  order,  he  was  sure  to  die 
within  three  days. 

One  of  their  greatest  secrets  was  involved  in  the 
sacrifice  ol  their  great  least.  They  took  seven 
bulls  and  seven  rams,  and  fed  them  with  certain 
herbs,  called  Hashishcit  uz  Zohrah  and  ‘I ajuhnalik 
and  in  their  language  Shikrek^  during  seven  days, 
and  gave  them  purified  water  to  drink.  The 
seventli  day  of  the  week  they  decked  them  out 
with  gold  and  jewels,  and  bound  them  in  golden 
chaint.  The  priests  sung  prayers,  hymns,  and 
psalms  in  the  great  temple.  The  people  arranged 
in  their  different  classes,  worshipped  God.  The 
chief  of  the  sacrificers  advanced  then,  and  made 
with  the  triple  staff  a sign  to  the  bulls  and  rams, 
which,  without  any  other  action  or  impulse,  were 
thereby  delivered  from  their  chains,  advanced,  and 


[ 29  ] 

voluntarily  stretched  out  their  necks  towards  the 
sacrificer,  who  immolated  them.  The  heads  of 
the  victims  were  put  in  the  coflin,  and  the  rest  of 
their  bodies  embalmed  .with  different  kinds  of 
drugs,  as  aloes,  amber,  musk,  camphor,  and  sto- 
rox,  and  the  great  prayer  began. 

Every  priest  appeared  in  the  dress  of  his  class, 
reading  the  holy  books.  They  prostrated  them- 
selves to  the  earth,  remaining  thus  for  a whole 
hour,  and  after  they  had  raised  their  heads,  the 
first  of  the  sacrificers  began  to  speak  on  all  the 
events  to  be  divined  from  this.  He  was  followed 
by  the  second  and  third,  and  so  on  till  the  last. 
One  of  the  priests  wrote  down  every  speech,  the 
results  of  which  they  compared. 

As  they  practised  different  rites,  the  real  im- 
port and  meaning  of  which  nobody  could  tell  but 
themselves ; and  all  this  proves  sufficiently  the 
great  care  with  which  they  kept  their  secrets 
hidden.  They  said,  “ These  things  are  come  down 
from  our  father  Adam^  Seth,,  and  Hermes,,  or  Edris' 
(Enoch),,  the  triple.”  There  were  sundry  other  par- 
ticulars worthy  to  be  mentioned ; but  we  will  not 
exceed  the  bounds  of  our  expressed  purpose. 

The  third  class  was  called  Ashrdkiyun  (Eastern), 
or  the  children  of  the  sister  of  Hermes,  who  is 


C 30  ] 

known  amongk  the  Greek  by  the  name  of  Tris" 
megistos  Thoosdios.  This  class  was  intermixed  with 
some  strangers  and  profane,  who  found  means  to 
get  hold  of  the  expressions  of  their  hearts.  Their 
sciences  and  knowledge  are  come  down  to  us. 

The  fourth  class,  denominated  Mashdwun^ 
(walkers^  07~  peripatetic  philosopli/rsj^'w^a^  formed  by 
the  strangers,  who  found  means  to  mingle  with 
the  children  and  family  of  Hermes.  They  were 
the  first  who  introduced  the  worsliip  of  the  stars 
and  constellations,  and  who  forsook  the  worship 
of  the  God  of  Gods.  (Be  his  glory  exalted — there 
is  no  other  God  but  him!)  From  hence  came 
their  divisions,  and  every  thing  that  has  been 
handed  down  to  us,  proceeds  originally  from  these 
two  sects,  the  Ashrdkrgdn,  eastern,  and  Mas/idwurii 
peripatetic  philosophers. 

Learn  then,  O reader!  the  secrets,  mysteries, 
and  treasures  of  the  Hieroglyphics,  not  to  be  found, 
and  not  to  be  discovered  any  where  else.  For- 
■ merly  a knowledge  of  them  could  not  be  acquired 
but  by  immense  pains  and  expense,  by  a great 
number  of  years,  and  a long  course  of  travels,  and 
now  lo ! these  treasures  are  laid  open  for  thy  en- 
jovment.  Take  possession  of  them,  keep  and  guard 
them  with  the  utmost  care  and  secrecy.  Pro- 


[ 31  ] 


foundly  learned  philosophers  and  curious  students 
only  have  attained  this  knowledge.  Let  us  now 
proceed  to  explain  the  hieroglyphics  promised

'Series  of  Hieroglyphics. 

The  philosopher  Dusham  mentions  these  signs 
in  his  book  on  the  qualities  of  planets  and  minerals. 
He  used  this  alphabet  to  design  their  secret  qua-

haps every  one  of  these  figures  may  have  had  more 
than  one  signification,  according  to  tlie  dlfiferent 
classes  of  priests,  who  wishing  to  hide  their  secrets 
one  from  the  other,  gave  their  signs  different 
meanings.

APPENDIX. 


Antidiluvian  Alphabets  preserved  b}'  the  JYabatheans^ 
Chaldeans^  and  Sabeans, 

The  first  called  the  alphabet,  used  for 

writing  sentences  of  wisdom  on  clay,  which  being 
burnt  became  pottery  (v.  orig.  p.  11 4-) 

The  following  alphabet  was  also  used  by  the 
Pharaohs,  who  convinced  of  its  being  an  antidilu- 
vian one,  used  to  write  with  it  the  books  of  prayer 
and  liturgies,  which  they  used  in  their  temples 
before  their  gods. 

I have  myself  seen  in  Upper  Egypt,  inscription 
tables  and  stones  engraved  with  this  alphabet. 
The  Pharaohs  firmly  believed  in  its  antiquity,  and 
the  Nabatheans  and  Chaldeans  continued  in  the 
same  opinion  (v.  orig.  p.  II5.) 

■ The  original  alphabets,  from  which  all  other 
ancient  and  modern  ones  have  been  derived,  are 
no  more  than  three. 

K 


[42  ] 

1.  The  old  Syrian  alphabet,  or  the  first  original 
divine  alphabet,  taught  by  God  the  Almighty  to 
Adam. 

2.  The  Celestial  alphabet,  or  the  alphabet  in 
which  the  books  which  Seth  (health  be  with  him) 
received  from  heaven  were  written. 

3.  The  alphabet  oj  Enoch  brought  down  by  the 
angel  Gabriel. 

This  opinion  is  generally  received  and  agreed 
upon  by  dilferent'nations  and  sects. 

Chanukha  has  confirmed  the  truth  in  his  books. 
Agalhodaimon  is  of  the  same  opinion  in  his  book 
on  secret  things.  He  says,  that  all  divine  (inspired) 
legislators  have  preserved  their  secrets  in  one  of 
these  three  alphabets.  The  indication  of  this  great 
man  was  our  guide,  we  have  collected  and  copied 
these  alphabets,  according  to  his  opinions  and 
belief.  Pay  attention,  in  order  that  thou  mayst 
walk  in  the  right  path. 

■ The  Sj^rian  alphabet  had,  according  to  the 
opinion  of  the  most  learned  men,  the  following 

characters  (v.  orig.  p.  117)» 

These,  however,  were  the  figures  of  the  letters 
in  the  earliest  ages,  which  were  changed  by  time, 
as  you  may  perceive  (v.  orig.  p.  11  8). 

This  is  the  alphabet  in  which  Adam  (peace  be 


[ 43  ] 

With  him)  wrote  his  books.  Who  says  the  con- 
trary says  fiilsehood,  and  God  knows  the  best. 

On  the  ShimsMm  Alphabet. 

It  was  inspired  by  divine  revelation,  and  vai  ied 
in  four  different  manners  by  the  people  who  used 
it,  viz.  the  Hennesians,  the  JYabatheans,  the  Sabeansj 
and  Chaldeans.  These  are  the  four  most  ancient 
people,  from  whom  all  modern  nations  have  deri- 
ved their  writing.

Many  of  these  letters  are  not  used  either  in 
Araljic  or  Persian,  except  by  those  who  have  the 
lvnowlcdg;e  ol  this  language.  They  are  arranged 
in  a contrary  order  to  that  commonly  received  ol 
A,  B:  C.  The  order  in  which  they  are  disposed, 
is  lonndv'd  on  the  nature  of  their  language.  Un- 
del  stand  this,  that  thou  rnayst  go  the  right  way. 

The  Nabatheans  gave  the  preference  to  the 
figures  of  animals,  disposed  according  to  their 
natural  order,  and  each  of  these  figures  had  its 
secret  signification,  viz. 

It  they  wished  to  express  a powerful,  brave, 
cunning,  and  avaricious  king,  they  painted  the 
figure  of  a man  with  the  head  of  a lion,  pointing 
with  one  of  his  fingers  to  a fox  before  him.  If 
they  wished  to  express  the  attribute  of  under- 
standing, sagacity,  and  wisdom,  they  represented 
a man  with  tlie  head  of  an  elephant,  pointing  with 
one  of  his  fingers  to  a sitting  ape.  If  they  wished 
to  give  him  the  attributes  of  justice,  generosity,  and 
liberality,  they  drew  a man  with  a bird’s  head,  and 
before  him  a balance,  a sun,  and  a moon.  If  they 
meant  to  represent  him  cruel,  faithless,  and  igno- 
rant they  gave  him  a dog’s,  ass’s,  or  boar’s  head, 
with  a pot  of  fire,  and  a sword  before  him. 

A sick,  weak,  and  decrepid  man  was  represented 


[ 48  I 

by  the  figure  of  a man,  followed  by  the  figures 

and  before  him  the  figure  of 

Saturn,  sometimes  with  the  figures  | ^ pM. 

A man  killed  by  violent  death,  was  represented 
by  the  figure  of  a man  with  the  head  of  an  owl,  or 
a bat,  and  behind  him  a scorpion  with  the  character 

and  the  figure  of  the  devil  behind  him,  with 
these  characters  ^ ^ "y*  * 

If  he  was  poisoned,  he  was  represented  with 
a crab’s,  or  beetle’s  head,  and  a glass,  or  bowl, 

before  him,  and  the  characters  B i T • 

’ AWA  1 ^ 

Death  occasioned  by  plague,  a hot  fever,  or  cor- 
ruption of  the  blood  and  the  humours,  was  repre- 
sented by  a man  sitting  in  a chair,  with  an  arrow 
in  his  hand  and  over  his  head  a upon  th$ 

back  of  the  chair,  and  before  him  the  figures

Honours,  authority,  and  a comfortable  situation, 
were  designed  by  a man  holding  in  his  hand  a 
ball,  or  circle,  upon  his  head  a crown,  before  him 
a raven,  and  behind  him  a dog,  with  these  charac- 
ters in  a circle  round  them 


A man  of  perfect  wisdom  and  understanding, 
accomplished  in  all  his  ways,  and  without  the  least 
blame,  was  painted  with  a beautiful  face,  with  wings 
like  an  angel,  holding  in  his  hands  a book,  in 
which  he  looked,  a sword  and  a balance,  and  be- 
hind him  two  vases,  one  of  them  full  of  water,  and 
the  other  of  blazing  fire.  Under  his  right  foot  a 
ball,  with  a crab  painted  on  it,  and  under  his  left 
a deep  pot  full  of  serpents,  scorpions,  and  diffe* 
rent  reptiles,  the  covering  of  which  had  the  shape 
of  an  eagle’s  head. 

See,  my  son ! these  are  the  secrets  of  these 
people,  with  which  nobody  was  acquainted  but 
themselves.  I have  seen,  in  one  of  the  hierogly- 
phical  buildings  in  Upper  Egypt,  the  represen- 
tation I am  going  to  describe. 


[ 50  ] 

This  building  was  a temple  of  the  Lord  Adonai, 
whom  sun  and  moon  serve.  It  represented  a coffin, 
adorned  with  curious  figures  and  admirable  orna- 
ments. A vine  growing,  with  its  leaves  spread 
over  it.  The  Lord  (God)  was  standing  upon  the 
coffin,  with  a staff  in  his  hand,  out  of  the  end  of 
which  a tree  shot  forth  and  overshadowed  it. 

Behind  the  coffin  was  seen  a pit  full  of  blazing 
fire,  and  four  angels  catching  serpents,  scorpions, 
and  other  noxious  reptiles,  throwing  them  into  it. 
On  his  head  a crown  of  glory ; on  his  right  the  sun, 
and  on  his  left  the  moon,  and  in  his  hand  a ring,  with 
the  twelve  signs  of  the  zodiac.  Before  the  coffin, 
an  olive  tree  sprouted  forth,  under  the  brandies 
of  which  different  kind  of  animals  were  collected. 
On  the  left,  and  a little  further  back,  a high 
mountain  was  seen,  with  seven  golden  towers  sup- 
porting the  sky.  A hand  stretched  forth  from 
this  sky,  poured  out  light,  and  pointed  with  his 
fingers  to  the  olive  tree.  There  was  also  the  figure 
of  a man,  whose  head  was  in  the  sky,  and  whose 
feet  were  on  the  earth.  His  hands  and  feet  were 
bound.  Before  the  Lord  stood  seven  censers,  two 
pots,  a vase  filled  with  perlumes,  spices,  and  a 
bottle  with  a long  neck  (retort),  containing  storax. 
The  hieroglyphic  representing  day,  Avas  under  his

right  foot,  and  the  hieroglypliic  representing  night 
under  his  left.  Before  the  Lord  was  laid,  on  a

on  a representation  and  names  of  the  planets  the

Here  follows  one  of  the  hidden  alphabets  above 

mentioned  (see  orig.  p.  129)* 

The  next  following  alphabet  was  used  by  the 
Sabeans  in  their  talismans,  magical  alarm-posts, 
and  astrological  conjuration  tables. 

Agathodaimon  says,  that  it  is  from  this  source  he 
drew  the  art  of  his  talismans,  in  which  he  is  un- 
paralleled among  either  ancients  or  moderns. 
Learn,'  therefore,  and  comprehend  this  alphabet. 

(see  orig.  p.  130.)  r * 

The  Chaldeans  were  the  wisest  men  ot  their 

times,  being  well  acquainted  with  every  science 
and  art.  Their  first  equals  and  rivals  were  the 
Curds.  But,  however,  there  is  as  great  a difference 
between  these  two  nations,  as  between  a glow  worm 
and  ^ fixed  star.*  The  first  superiority  the  Curds 
had  over  them,  was  in  agriculture  and  botany. 
They  pretended  to  descend  from  the  sons  oi Bine- 
shad,  and  to  have  got  possession  of  the  books  of 
Adam  on  agriculture,  and  of  the  books  of  Safuth 
and  Coothami.  They  pretended  to  have  all  the 
seven  antediluvian  books  inspired  by  heaven. 

They  pietended  to  possess  the  art  of  magic  and 

. Being  impossible  to  render 'in  English  the  likeness  of  sounds 
between  turab  and  thura,  it  has  been  thought  proper  to  translate

[ 53  ] 

talismans,  but  this  is  not  so ; for  all  these  sciences 
were  handed  down  to  them  from  the  OhaldeanSj 
who  first  cultivated  them.  This  pretension  to 
the  antiquity  of  their  learning,  is  the  reason  of 
the  inveterate  hatred  between  the  Chaldeans  and 
Curds. 

The  oldest  Chaldean  alphabet  (see  orig.  p.  132). 

Another  Chaldean  alphabet  (see  orig.  p.  133). 

Another  old  unknown  alphabet  (see  orig.  p.  134). 

This  the  Curds  falsely  pretend  to  be  the  alpha- 
bet, in  which  Bhmshdd  and  Mdssi  Surdli  composed 
all  their  scientific  and  mechanical  works. 

We  are  ignorant  to  what  alphabet  these  letters 
belong,  as  we  never  could  make  out  the  language 
which  they  express ; but  I saw  at  Bagdad,  thirty- 
three  inscriptions  written  in  this  alphabet. 

During  my  stay  at  Damascus,  I met  with  two 
books,  one  of  them  on  the  culture  of  the  vine  and  the 
palm  tree^  the  other  on  water,  and  the  means  of  find- 
ing it  out  in  unknown  ground.  I translated  them 
both  from  the  Curdic  language  into  Arabic,  for 
the  benefit  of  mankind.  This  is  the  reason  this 
treatise  was  not  finished  before.  I finished  it  at 
last,  with  Heaven’s  assistance,  after  one  and  twenty 
years,  and  have,  by  the  grace  of  God,  attained  the 
object  proposed.  I deposited  it  in  the  treasury  of
